The end of the world starts with failing the exam

Chapter 293 The Curse of the Material Universe (Part )

Under the leadership of Hassad.

Everyone continued towards the ancient ruins along a tunnel deep in the cave.

It has to be said that after passing through the cave, the road became much easier. After passing through this naturally formed underground tunnel, everyone walked about 500 meters deeper and came to a place where traces of artificial carvings could be seen everywhere. spiral staircase.

The stairway goes down.

Down to the depths of the earth.

The strongest Yegertos and Hassad who led the way were at the front. Everyone lined up and walked down one by one. With every step they took, they could hear strange noises coming from the stairs under their feet.

At first, everyone was frightened when they heard this strange sound that sounded like the ice was breaking. However, after a very careful inspection, it was determined that there was nothing wrong with the stairway, and everyone dared to relax and continue walking deeper. However, their mentality It's not as easy as before.

"That tree is here to guard his tomb?" Chen Jing and Chen Bofu were both walking in the middle, chatting in low voices at the moment.

"Maybe." Chen Bofu nodded.

"Look at that tree, it's quite powerful. I thought killing it would give me some equipment or something..." Chen Jing said with a disappointed look on his face, waving his right hand shrouded in golden light, and the shadows of everyone reflected on the ground. He couldn't help but swayed along.

Although everyone present was an old descendant and had learned the skill of seeing in the dark a long time ago, Chen Jing still couldn't help but want to grab something for lighting when walking in such a place where he couldn't see anything.

"These things on the wall are really strange..." Tsukano Kushiro walked about two steps in front of Chen Jing. As he followed the team, he looked at the black marks on the stone wall, with a hint of vigilance in his tone, " They seem to be alive and squirming all the time..."

As Tsukano Kushiro said, from the moment they entered this spiral staircase, everyone found many such burn-like marks on the stone walls, but listening to Hassad's explanation... these things seemed to be some kind of existence. Mold from the olden days.

"Many ancient relics from the old era have these things." Chen Bofu was not surprised. This was not the first time he had seen such things. "They are just some molds that rely on the energy of the old era to survive to this day. They are not useful to ordinary humans." It's harmful to me, but it's not harmful to the old descendants."

After hearing the old man's popular science, Tsukano Koshiro was obviously relieved, but Chen Jing, who was walking behind him, did not relax his vigilance at all.

Although Chen Jing never showed it.

But his heart was actually hanging in the balance from beginning to end.

Because he felt that everything was... going too smoothly.

Is it true that an ancient ruin where the Old King is buried will only be guarded by an inexplicable strange tree?

Or is it because I think too much and make a fuss?

After all, not every ancient ruins is as scary as the Yellow King's Courtyard.

"Come and see! There are murals here!"

Hearing Hassad's exclamation from the front of the team, the people walking behind couldn't help but subconsciously speed up their pace.

When Chen Jing came to Hassad, he saw that the old man had put on his glasses and was leaning on the wall to study, as if he was admiring something fascinating, with a mesmerized look on his face.

"I didn't expect to see the mural I've been looking for so early... It's so beautiful... This is the most beautiful thing in the world!"

"Is this... a mural?"

Chen Jing looked at the indented paintings on the wall in disbelief. He felt that the old man was most likely crazy. These weird and twisted patterns on the wall... how could they fit the description of "beautiful"?

He must be crazy.

Chen Jing firmly believed.

The patterns painted with colorful paints on the walls are complex in content. 80% of the patterns are composed of countless twisted lines and geometric shapes of unknown meaning. The remaining 20% ​​of the patterns are weird abstract paintings.

Perhaps the painter who originally painted this long mural was also a lunatic. His minimalist brushstrokes, which he practiced due to his mental deviance, can make people feel chilly in their bones even with just an understatement.

Countless bizarre creatures that are difficult to describe in words or even unimaginable are now vividly appearing on the wall, as if the "painter" has brought everyone back to that crazy era in just an instant, allowing everyone to witness that one with their own eyes. How terrifying is a monster that only blasphemes.

If judged from a normal human aesthetic perspective, the skill of the painter who painted this long mural is by no means superb, and can even be called crude and without any sense of beauty. But if you look at it from another angle...

The man who painted this long mural.

It must be a "creature" whose painting skills have reached the pinnacle.

It just uses some rough lines and weird geometric figures to combine with each other, and it can successfully inspire the fear hidden in the deepest part of human genes, as if these twisted and abstract creatures it depicts are real and are still alive in front of everyone's eyes. .

At this moment, everyone seemed to be possessed.

While walking deeper into the stairway like a zombie, I uncontrollably watched this "magnificent and beautiful" long epic picture.

The more I look.

The more I feel that my initial aesthetic level is simply rubbish.

How can this minimalist painting be considered crude?

It’s clearly extremely delicate and real!

"Something's wrong..."

Chen Jing suddenly woke up without warning and suddenly turned his eyes away from the mural.

Only then did he realize that the crowd, as if possessed, had already reached the edge of the stairway, and that one step further to the side would be a bottomless abyss.

Although everyone present is of old descent.

An accidental fall from a height will not necessarily kill you.

But his intuition told Chen Jing that it was not that simple. This long painting was a trap...it was leading everyone towards the unknowable abyss in the center of the spiral staircase!

In just an instant, the deep space energy in Chen Jing's body turned into countless long golden threads and flew out, wrapping around everyone at lightning speed until they were pulled back from the edge of the abyss...

And just then.

The abyss swallowed by darkness suddenly lit up.

Chen Jing stood at the edge of the stairway and immediately saw what was shining inside.

Yes.

It was the beautiful starry sky that everyone saw for the first time.

It seems that this staircase is a passage between two spaces.

Taking a step back is the real world.

The next step is the indescribable vastness of the universe.

"When did you wake up?!"

At this moment, "his" voice sounded again in Chen Jing's mind. His tone seemed very frightening, as if he was frightened by what happened before.

"I've been calling you for a long time and you still haven't responded!"

"I just woke up." Chen Jing's heart was beating fast and he had lingering fears on his face.

"Did I wake you up?" asked "him" in his mind.

"No, it's not."

Chen Jing turned his head and looked at a familiar pattern in the mural.

Although the shape is minimalist and the lines are abstract, Chen Jing can still identify the identity of the monster that is holding the corpse of a certain creature and gnawing crazily.

That's right.

That’s Bai Aji!

"That state of total immersion... must be hypnotized..." Chen Jing murmured to himself, feeling scared when he thought of everything that had happened before, "This painting is used to kill intruders... …should be……"

"So how did you wake up??" "He" in his mind was still a little confused.

"A play."

Chen Jingyan replied concisely and concisely. This was the only explanation he could think of.

"In that immersive state, the most fearful thing is to make a show, so the moment I saw Bai Aji, I knew something was wrong..."

The second update is coming~
